Valkyrie Dragonfang 240. Smaller edition of the Cypriot liquid cooler

Key Features

At the end of this year, I have prepared a review of Valkyrie’s AIO liquid cooler. In the autumn I tested their flagship cooler Dragonfang 360 and today we will test its smaller brother, the Dragonfang 240. It is cheaper and has wider compatibility, as it is more compact. Valkyrie’s previous coolers have not fared badly in absolute numbers at all, hopefully this trend will continue in today’s article.

Conclusion and evaluation

The Valkyrie Dragonfang 240 is a very solid cooler and its efficiency is close to even coolers with larger radiators. It offers high build quality, which is especially true of the supplied Valkyrie X12E fans, which give a really robust impression promising a long service life.

The visual side of the cooler is also very well done and the accessories are again quite extensive, as is good habit with Valkyrie coolers. Another nice bonus is the five-year warranty, which balances the slightly higher price on our market. The acoustic performance of the cooler is on the whole acceptable except for isolated episodes of vibration and fan rumbling at certain speed levels.

PCCooler CPS RZ820: Against the elite, weighing over 1.8 kg

They were so emphatic about their cooler being optimized for Intel LGA 1700 processors that we had to try it out. And given that the CPS RZ820 is a “hefty chunk” of material, the reference sample selection included the kind of competitive coolers that are at the top of the tower model database. These should give the PCCooler CPS RZ820 a good run for its money. At the same time, this cooler should not be more expensive.

DeepCool Assassin 4S – The stealthy tamer of high temps

A year ago, the excellent DeepCool Assassin IV cooler was tested here and eventually took our top award. Today we take a closer look at a modified version of this cooler called Assassin 4S. This variant may have lost the rear fan, but the middle one has been completely redesigned to compensate for this loss. So today’s article logically aims to find out how much of an impact this major change has on efficiency and acoustics. Read more “DeepCool Assassin 4S – The stealthy tamer of high temps” »

“Rattlegate” is unfair. Noctua NH-D15 G2 expertise begins

Practically right after its release, the long-awaited Noctua NH-D15 G2 cooler received a rattling sticker that is a bit far-fetched. We’ve also seen some escalated opinions that perhaps it’s “garbage” and here’s where we have to step in. Noctua 100% does not deserve such adjectives for its work. We have to stand up for a company that has really sacrificed a lot for development. We cannot ignore such distortions of public opinion. Read more ““Rattlegate” is unfair.
